Boarder From 1954 Till 1958
A Memory of Bridport.
I was sent to the convent after my Father died in 1953. My Uncle had been educated there many years previously. I can confirm the recollections that have been put here of the vicious way in which some of the Nuns treated us. I suffered from the effects of whooping cough and regularly put into a separate room to recuperate. I vividly remember one of the Nuns telling me that I was wicked because I had been coughing all night and keeping the other lads awake. I visited the convent shortly before it was demolished. I wish I had been able to take part in the demolition. I can remember two brothers who were there, Tony and Nicky Book
